No it’s not. It’s vacuum underneath.

Anything you can do in Jev can be done with an LLM at much greater cost and latency.

And UC professors are begging them to unwind that and go back to ACT/SAT.

Every year since the first iPhone came out. It's sort of superstition at this point. Not sure what would happen if I broke the streak.

It did once. That's all I know of though. Nothing like Codex.

Kessler is much less of a problem at their altitude (480km). Debris has too much drag and would get pulled down too quick to have a sustained Kessler situation. It's possible, but very very unlikely at that altitude.

Have a friend just graduated in cybersecurity. He’s going into the military with it.

That’s my point. For whatever reason, npm isn’t doing it. All npm users adding a minimum package age is kind of like doing it as a collective, without npm’s help.

Even if everyone used it, the security scanners would still have time to do their static analysis of new packages. Basically, all the clients implementing a delay would create a de facto quarantine status for new packages so they can be examined before everyone starts installing them. (Why npm doesn't just implement that themselves, I do not know.)

Planetscale has better performance and uptime. But the branching keeps me going back to neon…

Yes planetscale can branch too, but it takes longer and you pay individually for each branch

Weird. Works great in cities for me. It’s been more than fancy cruise control for awhile.

But Starlink satellites are low enough that we don’t worry too much about Kessler Syndrome at that altitude, right?
